Return on Investment (ROI)
"As school systems nationwide sign multimillion-dollar contracts with universities and educational
companies to save struggling schools, Educational Development Associates signs individual schools
at a fraction of the cost and often produced immediate results using its innovative program
ACALETICS."

Efficacy
"Mr. Bell,
I am at a Harvard course and I am in a workshop right now regarding Efficacy. While
I have always had that belief, it has been you and Ms. Laurent who help me communicate my belief
and drive with others. Thank you for helping me. There are not many of you out there to help…. The
children deserve it. Thank you!"

Student Engagement
"Good Morning,
I just received my box of goodies and I wanted to thank you for it! I am so excited to do this
program with my son. We already started the first book and he's very into it so I know he will
enjoy the rest of it. My class is very into the program as well. They are having fun with it which
makes it so much easier for me... We are extremely appreciative of everything you have done to help
us implement this program into our classrooms. Thank you again and looking forward to seeing you on
your next visit!! Have a great day!!"

Global Impact
"I began using the ACALETICS supplemental curriculum in 2007 while working in Gadsden County. The
FCAT
math scores during my years in Gadsden County went up dramatically showing extraordinary growth.
In 2010 I relocated to the Middle East and taught at the intermediate grade levels. I most
definitely
used the strategies, the hooks, and the unique repetition that ACALETICS provides. By winter break
my
students had exceeded grade level expectations in several areas and the Head of Faculty/Asst.
Principal began to observe my classes. By the end of the school year, the EMSA results (External
Measure of Student Achievement) were beyond expectations!
I have since returned to the U.S. and I am teaching in Wakulla County, Fl. I have used ACALETICS
for
seven years with great success and look forward to the same success this year.”
Marsha Bowers, Teacher, COAST CHARTER SCHOOL, Wakulla County, FL
Why I Like Quik-Piks:
"I really like Quik-Piks because they are fun and they get me ready for the FCAT and help me to
feel
prepared. I like how they have similar problems over and over again to help me remember how to do
them
and get really good at them. For example, even before our class started learning about fractions in
our math book, I had already learned a lot about fractions because we had been doing them in
Quik-Piks. They're great!" ☺

Immediate Impact
"It is amazing what one year of Acaletics has done for Moton Elementary School. We are thrilled by
the
results of our FCAT scores and the increased effectiveness of Acaletics principles in the
deliverance
of math instruction."
Donnie Moen, Principal, Moton Elementary School, Brooksville, FL.
Higher Order Thinking
"The staff and I feel the new comprehensive component helped our students achieve success on the
Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). There is no other program that comes close to
teaching
and reinforcing the higher order thinking skills that children must acquire in order to meet the
challenges of today's society."
Frances A. Rotford, Principal, Norwood Elementary School, Miami, FL.
A Winning Combination
"It's a year since we adopted the Educational Development Services, Inc. Program and I must now add
my name to the testimonial list of satisfied clients of EDA. We're very proud of our decision to
implement the EDA Program as it was very therapeutic for us. When we combined your recommended
strategies, periodic assessments, our textbooks, and the CBC competencies, we had a winning
combination..."
Linette M. Coleman, Principal, West Homestead Elementary School, Homestead, FL.
